Zoo Tycoon 2 - PC
Free trees and other stuff:
---------------------------
When you are in any zoo mode (campaign, challenge, and freeform) most zoos should
have already existing trees(and occasionally things like flower beds, benches,
etc.) at the start. All you have to do is left click the item you want and move
it to where you want it.This saves money when you are on a tight budget and is
really easy.
Secrets:
--------
Run in Zoo Guest Mode and Photo Safari Mode: Since left-clicking the mouse makes
you walk in Zoo Guest and Photo Safari Mode, and so does W or Up, you can walk
twice as fast (aka run) by holding two of these.
Cheat:
------
Hold [SHIFT]+[W]+[UP] for ULTRA FAST RUN
Walk faster:
------------
While in Zoo Guest mode, hold [Cursor Forward] + Left Mouse Button to walk faster
(run). Alternately, press [Up] + W in Zoo Guest mode.
To run even faster in Zoo Guest or Zookeeper mode, hold [Shift] + [Forward] (or W)
+ Left Mouse Button.
More starting money in challenge mode:
--------------------------------------
In challenge mode, put the pointer over the "Up" button hat increases your money,
but do not click on it. Press the [Up] key on the keyboard to increase your money
twice as fast.
Africa:
-------
Put a fence around the entrance to the zoo so that the entire zoo qualifies as
a cage. Then, cover the whole zoo in savana grass and add plants and lakes. Place
some animals then walk around as a zoo keeper/guest. To do this faster, do not get
staff, food/water dishes or shelters. It will look unnatural. If you put gazelles
in a pack, only put about two to six of them or some might ditch the pack. If you
encounter across a dirty animal, wash it or all the animals will get sick and die.
Note: Plant eaters will get eaten.
Monkey meat:
------------
Make a small pen. Put meat eating animals in it and put a vulnerable herbivore in it.
Eventually a carnivore will kill it and the herbivore will become a carcass of meat.
Babies:
-------
You do not need two animals to have a baby. Just adopt a female animal and wait for
about a month. Then, adopt a male of the same species and place him in with the female.
Do not do anything from the time that you adopt him until the female gets pregnant.
When she does, select "Undo". That will undo the adoption of the male and your female
will still be pregnant.

------------------

tool and use in the deep water you just created.
Successful freeform zoo:
------------------------
Close your zoo when you first begin a new zoo so that no guests are unhappy while you are
building it. First, put in two food stands, two drink stands, dessert stands, one restaurant,
and one zoo exhibit before opening your zoo again. Guests also like donation boxes. Make sure
three of your four walls are made with the hill device in the "Landscaping" section. The other
wall should be made with a fence so that guests can see the animals. Set all of your prices
low, including the admission price. Do not forget benches, restrooms, and ATMs.
For entertainment, add photo souvenir stands, arches, playgrounds (make an area out of sand
path and put your playground equipment on top), fountains and statues. Also put in picnic
tables and gift shops. With any extra money, crate playgrounds or peacock exhibits with one
male peacock. They are more beautiful and will amuse guests.
Note: Make sure to fully close exhibits with natural walls. Sometimes animals can squeeze out
and chase guests. Double-check the exhibits with big cats, grizzly bears, and elephants.
Hint:
-----
If you want to have a herd of horses or a pack of wolves or a pride of lions make sure you
have about 2 to 5 horses in an exibit. And 2 to 5 wolves, and 3 ot 9 lions. If you put more
than that some of them will ditch the group.
Swim:
-----
To go underwater go to zoo guest mode, go to a lake or deep water and face it (so you are
looking at it) and click the mouse to go down, then you can actually go under water.
Extra Babies:
-------------
Ok, if you have a pregnate animal after it gives birth put the baby up for adoption after a
while the mother will get pregnate again. MAKE SURE YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE THAT CAN BE
UNDONE IN THE TIME PERIOD BETWEEN THE ADOPTION AND THE MOTHER GETTING PREGNATE AGAIN.
NOTE: this doesn't work with twins.
Cavemen in iceburgs (it will take a while to melt):
---------------------------------------------------
If you have Z.T 2 Extinct animals then buy an iceburg(Buy an alpine animal or a sabre tooth
tiger and its on animal enrichment) and if you are lucky, then there will be a caveman
inside. It will act like any other guest!
